Appeals question - school results

[LucasNorthCanSpookMeAnytime]

Sorry for one question after another from me lately!

Am just having a look at school results, to see how the school copes with having a few pupils over PAN. The school consistently performs above the national average but is that irrelevant to how well they cope? I suspect it is. They have much better results than they did the previous year but in the last 5 years their numbers have got slightly worse over time, except for last year. Does it sound like it's better not to bring this up at all?

I would not bring up results regardless of what they look like. Saying they were over PAN but the results improved doesn't really prove anything. There can be all kinds of reasons for the improvement. Unless the school tries to argue that admitting more children will impact results I would keep away from this.

Okey-doke, will do. Thank you again!
